Chapter 483: 482, Large number of players demonstrating their abilities_1

After advancing to the fourth tier, Druids gain a skill – “Travel form”. This ability allows Druids to transform into animals such as “Eagles”, “Deer”, or “Dolphins”, adapting better to their surroundings.

The Snow Leopard – now in the “Eagle” form – flew over the Pandamen Empire.

Beneath him lay myriad of Pandamen towns with bustling city streets, tranquil villages, and picturesque countryside. …

Cloaked in attire reminiscent of ancient China, the Panda-like creatures, seemingly harmonious, bustled through the streets.

Regrettably this harmony will soon be disrupted. The major races will turn their forces toward this land, leaving the Pandamen little time.

The Snow Leopard let out a sigh of regret and continued its flight.

…

Suddenly he received a private message from Su Yu.

“Where have you reached?” Su Yu asked in the message.

“I’m at the Pandamen mainland right now, just north of Golden Spring City,” the Snow Leopard replied.

“Oh, what are your coordinates?”

“Golden Spring City (2492, 1150).”

Just as the Snow Leopard sent his coordinates, a silvery portal blazed about three meters in front of him.

Obviously, the portal came from Su Yu.

Without a second thought, the Snow Leopard charged toward it.

His surroundings started to change.

In the next moment, he found himself in a massive underground space – precisely, an underground palace.

The intricate reliefs and murals on the palace walls were even gilded with a wafer-thin layer of gold. Moss had begun to cover the lower parts of the walls due to neglect over time.

But Snow Leopard’s attention wasn’t on the murals; it was drawn to an enormous dragon before him.

The dragon, called Eragon, was a giant eastern dragon made entirely of starlight. Its body, around seventy meters long, glittered with twinkling stars, and above its head hung a colossal nameplate labeled “Eragon”.

Eragon was leisurely coiling on a transparent platform in the middle of the hall, its mouth emitting rhythmic dragon roars.

Su Yu was standing next to the Snow Leopard.

As the Snow Leopard gawked, Su Yu introduced, “This is the starlight cloud dragon – Eragon – I mentioned before. From him, we can undertake power-manifestation tasks. The first batch of players is ready. We have been waiting for you!”

Standing by the transparent platform were four to five hundred players organizing their teams.

Among these players, 50% were top-ranking gamers from various big guilds in the game, 30% were military personnel, and the remaining 20% consisted of small guilds and individual high-skilled players like Sky Dragon, Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, and Frost Red Tea.

Spotting the Snow Leopard in the crowd, Mr. Meng (Unbreakable Alliance) and Mr. Li (Truth is a Range ) waved at him: “Mr. Zhong, over here!”

The Snow Leopard waved back in acknowledgment.

He bid Su Yu farewell and moved towards his teammates under Su Yu’s kind gaze, to undertake power manifestation tasks from Eragon.

…

The details of the task that followed was mostly unremarkable.

The Snow Leopard joined a 20-member team comprising some of the top-tier players in the game.

The task progressed speedily with the combined efforts of 19 teammates to collect task items and defeat bosses.

Being a fourth-tier player, the third-tier single-player dungeon posed no challenge to the Snow Leopard.

A task that would normally take 6 hours to complete took him merely two. He stood in front of the final boss of the single-player dungeon – the Senyu Giant Bear, Gargon.

The Snow Leopard did not rush to kill the boss. At 5% HP, he stopped and contacted Su Yu via a private message:

“After defeating the final boss of the single-player dungeon, do I gain power manifestation?”

He was slightly excited.

Since level 7, he had been looking forward to power manifestation. Now at level 63, he was finally about to achieve it!

“Of course,” Su Yu replied, “After defeating the boss, you will receive a Badge of Courage. Place it on your forehead, and it will trigger manifestation… By the way, Sky Dragon received her badge 16 minutes before you did.”

The Snow Leopard’s face darkened: “16 minutes? That’s because you helped her defeat the monsters and the boss, isn’t it? How could I have fallen behind otherwise?”

Su Yu: “Haha, go and manifest your powers. I’m heading to Yunlu Mountain. Let’s meet in the real world.”

Snow Leopard: “Goodbye.”

With one Head-on Strike, he killed the giant bear before him. Beneath the bear’s fading corpse, he collected a golden badge about the size of a beer bottle.

…

…

Atop Yunlu Mountain.

A silver teleporter was activated, and Su Yu appeared above the Yunlu Mountain Base.

Sky Dragon was in the first room of the third row of houses.

She was undergoing power manifestation. A surge of pure Spiritual Energy flowed from her game helmet into her dantian, boosting her power.

However, she was merely a 14-year-old girl without her parents’ presence. Although Su Yu had already tried to rally her through private messages, he felt the need to go and check on her.

Entering her room through the window, he found her absorbing the spiritual energy from the game helmet as her tiny body shook uncontrollably.

Su Yu walked up to her, held her hand, and she calmed down, concentrating on absorbing the energy, reassured by the warmth of his palm.

Along with Sky Dragon, players such as Snow Leopard, Mr. Meng, and Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, began power manifestation.

A deluge of spiritual energy covered every corner of the base. The players absorbed the majority of it, and about 20% of the residue was recovered by the Spiritual Energy Collectors installed on the ground.

Su Yu scanned the whole base with his Spiritual Energy, finding that the players’ power manifestation was progressing smoothly: they were not encountering any significant issues.

Elder Tao was even hovering mid-air to protect the new generation players of Blue Star.

About 20 minutes later, Su Yu flew out of Sky Dragon’s room, planning to return home.

He too needed to cultivate and couldn’t waste too much time here.

On seeing Su Yu’s expression, Elder Tao immediately guessed his intention and flew over, smiling, “Young friend Su, are you planning to go home?”

“Yeah, everything is going smoothly with the manifestation process – I don’t need to stay here all the time,” Su Yu responded.

“How long will it take for them to complete the manifestation process?”

Su Yu just contemplated for a while before responding, “It might take Zhong Feng and Xu Xiaotian about a week. The other third-tier players can complete the manifestation in about three days. Typically, there won’t be any issues.”

“Well then,” elder Tao nodded, “this old man will stay here to protect them.”

“Thank you, elder!” Su Yu respectfully said.
